When you ask "What number is halfway between 79 and 240?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=79 and Y=240.
To find the number halfway between 79 and 240, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 79 and 240 into our formula, we get:
(79 + 240)/2 = 159.5
Thus, the number halfway between 79 and 240 is 159.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 79 from 159.5 and subtract 159.5 from 240 and compare the two numbers:
159.5 - 79 = 80.5
240 - 159.5 = 80.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 80.5 higher than 79 and 80.5 lower than 240. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 159.5 above is correct.
